WarmUp:
Well, this is, one is allowed to say it like that, I believe, one of our favourites, Shoma Uno from Japan. Second at the PyeongChang Olympics behind Yuzuru Hanyu, two times second at World Championships, lately two times fourth at World Championships, Shoma Uno, the protégé of Stéphane Lambiel, by now.
Short program:
So, because Yuzuru Hanyu skips this Grand Prix season, because of injury, he is the clear Number One, crowd favourite in Japan, Shoma Uno.
Beaten in Las Vegas, by Vincent Zhou, by the way, who is leading at the moment, he won't have missed this, Shoma Uno the protégé of Stéphane Lambiel, World Champion 2005 and 2006 and Olympic Silver Medal winner also in Torino 2006.
He's chosen an Oboe Concert.
And the Quadruple Flip, he puts it down, like a plank!
Boah!
Ah, only a double toeloop, not a triple. First one was a quadruple, clearly.
The duel with Vincent Zhou continues, Shoma Uno.
Good, eh, the triple toe loop after the quadruple, he can confidently accept this as an 'on the job' accident, that is possible. But there are, of course, his landings at the first quadruple jump, the flip, or the triple Axel, that have to create excitement actually, they are phenomenal.
He is standing like a Number One here, and the runout! Gentlemen! Gorgeous! Without any difficulties whatsoever.
Here he is received by Stéphane Lambiel, 2019 he went to him to Switzerland. 2019 was the year Shoma Uno had an athletic low point and Stéphane Lambiel brought him back on track nicely. This is something the Swiss should be recognised for, as a big achievement.
Still leading, still leading is Shoma Uno (sic! He means Vincent) who has beaten him in Las Vegas. But it is absolutely possible that Shoma Uno will now earn over 100 points.
Presumably the program components of Vincent Zhou will now actually be the measure of all things - possibly.
But Shoma Uno, of course, has a big name, the second of the PyeongChang Olympics.
He's just simply one who, when he is on the ice, when you see him, how he approaches the task, there is joy in watching him, joy in following him.
It might not be that easy for Shoma Uno, to live here, in Switzerland, to train, far from home, but perhaps it's also this cultural change that, hehehe, that might have created new charms.
And you never know, how this, how this injury, how deep it is with Yuzuru Hanyu.
Shoma Uno versus Vincent Zhou, that is the battle that is fought here and at the moment he is one step ahead, Shoma Uno with 102,58 against Vincent Zhou.
I usually post them on my Twitter, I mostly do pencil sketches and when the stars align also digital paintings, like these 
...no, not really. I'm sure the commentator is only referencing scores since the GOE changes and record reset, haha. But we know.

Stay healthy for the GP final!
